Comments on: Rumbling east out of the evening sun, what is likely NI42 approaches the depot at Blenheim, where the operator is ready to hoop up the orders. Note the single-stall engine house in the distance at right. Scan and editing by Jacob Patterson.

Amazing photo!

Almost all of the track in this picture is still in place, the 2′nd track to right of the train is missing, and it narrows to three tracks crossing the road. The entire complex was modernized in later years to send out “unit trains” which CSX continued to do a few times a year into 2005/6 – could load a full unit train in about 1-2 days.
